Abstract

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV infection/AIDS) cannot be cured but can be controlled by antiretroviral medicines. Non-compliance with the treatment is influenced by internal and external factors. The internal factors (predisposing factors) include healthcare systems, socioeconomic conditions, and patients. Meanwhile, the external factors (enabling and reinforcing factors) include the condition of the disease and therapy. This study aims to determine the influence of service flow changes and drug consultation on the quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS in Sunan Kalijaga Regional Public Hospital, Demak Regency.This research employed a quasi-experimental method with one group and a pre-post design. The research subject was HIV/AIDS-positive patients in Sunan Kalijaga Regional Public Hospital, Demak Regency. These subjects had met the inclusion and exclusion research criteria. The data were collected using an in-depth interview, consisting of 14 questions to determine factors in non-compliance with treatment and patients' quality of life. Patient compliance with treatment and quality of life were measured before and after the intervention. The dependent t-test was employed to determine differences in the average score of the compliance and quality of life before and after the treatment. The majority of HIV/AIDS-positive patients in Sunan Kalijaga Regional Public Hospital are in the productive age (49 people or 96.22%), female (33 people or 62.24%), employed in private jobs (16 people or 30.19%), married (34 people or 64.2%), and graduated from primary school (20 people or 37.7%). The majority of the patients have undergone the treatment for > 1 year (32 respondents or 60.4%) and received the drug regimen of ZDV + 3TC + NVP (90.57%). There is no significant difference in the patient compliance with the treatment before and after the intervention with the sig < 0.05. Moreover, the patients have a high quality of life with a compliance value of 80-100% before and after the intervention. The pre-post-interventions have influenced the physical health domain and the social relation domain with the sig < 0.05. The provision of education affects the quality of life on physical health and social relationship factors (sig < 0.005). The implementation of drug consultation could improve the HIV-positive patients' quality of life in physical health and social relationship domains. In contrast, the intervention does not affect the patients' compliance with the therapy.

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is a medical condition characterised by blood pressure that is higher than usual and persistent. Based on previous studies, it was found that the low level of compliance in taking medication was related to a decrease in the quality of life for hypertensive patients. This study aimed to determine the compliance of hypertensive patients with taking medicines at one of the West Semarang Community Health Centres, Central Java. Methods: Analytic descriptive research. This type of research is observational with cross-sectional techniques, with respondents being hypertensive patients at one of the Puskesmas in West Semarang, Central Java, in 2023. Data analysis was conducted by looking at whether or not drug compliance affected patient characteristics using the chi-square Morisky Medication Adherence Scale 8 (MMAS-8) test. Results: female gender is higher than male, age 36 years to 45 years and 56 years to 65 years have high adherence, diploma and undergraduate education have high adherence values, occupation of housewives and civil servants / TNI / POLRI have high adherence to taking medication and long suffering above 2 years of moderate drug compliance, hypertension therapy with 2 to 3 drugs moderate adherence rather than one drug, other disease characteristics are equally high in adherence.Conclusion: Adherence to the use of antihypertensive medications in one Puskesmas in West Semarang, Central Java, was in the high and medium categories. Men have a moderate adherence category, and women have a high adherence category.

Abstract

Inappropriate prescribing of parenteral analgesics in patients with mild pain or uncomplicated fever remains a relevant concern in emergency care. This study reports findings from a retrospective internal audit conducted in the emergency department of a private hospital in Banjarbaru, Indonesia, to evaluate the appropriateness of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use. Medical records of 384 emergency department visits were reviewed, including data on pain intensity using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), clinical indications, route of administration, and immediate adverse reactions. Inappropriate use was defined as administration of parenteral NSAIDs in patients with mild pain (NRS 1–3) or uncomplicated fever when oral therapy was feasible, based on Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) guidelines. The audit identified inappropriate parenteral NSAID use in 7 patients (3.6%). These cases were associated with mild, immediate adverse effects such as nausea and dizziness. Although the proportion was small, the findings indicate potentially avoidable use of injectable analgesics and highlight the need for improved adherence to guideline-based analgesic selection. Reinforcement of routine pain assessment, clinician re-education, and periodic prescribing audits are recommended to support rational and patient-centered analgesic use in emergency settings.

Abstract

This study examined the associations of knowledge level, perception, and religiosity with halal cosmetics use among working women in Semarang City. A quantitative cross-sectional design was used, involving 111 respondents selected via snowball sampling. Data collected through a structured online questionnaire were analyzed using multiple linear regression. Results showed that knowledge (β = 0.070), perception (β = 0.077), and religiosity (β = 0.034) significantly and positively influenced halal cosmetics use (all p < 0.05), with perception emerging as the strongest predictor. The model explained a substantial proportion of variance (R^2 = 0.469). Respondents with positive perceptions were more likely to use halal-certified cosmetics consistently, indicating that usage is driven not only by religious values and knowledge but also by practical factors like accessibility, quality, safety, and consumer confidence. Although the cross-sectional design and non-probability sampling may limit generalizability, these findings offer valuable insights. Future studies should involve larger, more geographically diverse populations and explore additional marketing variables. Ultimately, these insights can guide cosmetic manufacturers, certification authorities, and policymakers in developing targeted educational strategies, transparent communication, and consumer-oriented promotional approaches within Indonesia’s competitive urban halal personal care market.

Abstract

Bronchopneumonia is a respiratory tract infection affecting the bronchi and lungs and remains one of the leading causes of mortality among children worldwide. Antibiotics are the mainstay of therapy; however, their high utilization necessitates evaluation to ensure rational use. At K.R.M.T. Wongsonegoro Hospital, Semarang, bronchopneumonia was the leading infectious disease among pediatric patients in 2023, highlighting the need for a comprehensive assessment of antibiotic prescribing practices. This study aimed to determine the profile of antibiotic use and evaluate both qualitative and quantitative appropriateness of antibiotic therapy among pediatric inpatients with bronchopneumonia. A descriptive, retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted involving 281 pediatric inpatients aged 0–18 years hospitalized with bronchopneumonia throughout 2023. Qualitative antibiotic appropriateness was evaluated using the Gyssens method, while quantitative utilization was analyzed via the Defined Daily Dose (DDD)/100 inpatient-days system. Ceftriaxone was the predominant therapy, both as monotherapy and in combination with azithromycin. Qualitative analysis revealed notable irrationalities, characterized primarily by incorrect dosing intervals and inappropriate dosages, alongside truncated treatment durations. Quantitatively, ceftriaxone exhibited the highest consumption rate, dominating the Drug Utilization 90% (DU90%) segment. These findings reveal suboptimal antibiotic utilization patterns, underscoring an urgent need for institutional prescription audits and targeted educational interventions to mitigate the risk of localized antimicrobial resistance.
